British Music Experience

The British Music Experience is a permanent exhibition dedicated to the history of popular music in Britain. It is an enthralling, technologically unrivalled and seriously cool sonic trip through time.

Using state of the art effects and iconic memorabilia, the exhibition shows how rock, pop, dance and other genres were formed and have influenced the last sixty years of British culture. From the classic era defining sounds of the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Dusty Springfield to stadium filling giants like The Who and Queen...to the irresistible anarchy of bands like The Specials and Sex Pistols, right up to recent crowd-pleasers such as Spice Girls, Oasis, Coldplay and Arctic Monkeys.

Along their journey visitors can step into audio visual spaces that explore specific trends, witness fascinating one-off interviews between the biggest stars, see an awe inspiring display of famous artefacts 'come to life', download tracks, record songs, learn instruments, bust moves on the dance floor and even feel what it is like to perform at a virtual concert. In addition, a full public and educational programme is available with workshops, master-classes and concerts.
